FOLDING DISPLAY- BOX.

Specification of Letters Patent.

To 11/ who/1t it may concern: 3

Be it known that I, PERRY S. BAUER, a 5 citizen of the United States, residing at Chii cage, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented new and useful Improve i ments in Folding Display-Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to folding display boxes of the kind usually made of V pasteboard and variously called cartons or l envelops or wrappers.

The .invention has particular reference to the folding display box forming the subject of Letters Patent No. 710,407 dated October 7, 1902 which is designed more especially for holding and displaying suspensory band ages.

The object of the present invention is to simplify and improve said patented box and reduce its cost of manufacture.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating one embodiment of the invention Figure 1 is a perspective view of the box open. Fig. 2 is a similar View looking at the back of the box closed and in upside-down position. I

Referring to the drawings, A is the front, B the back, C, D the end "flaps and E the tucking flap of the box, these parts being connected and the whole formed out of a single blank. In the particular form of the box, as illustrated in the drawings, which has been found especially adapted for holding and displaying suspensory bandages, the back is connected to the front by a side I), the front is connected to the tucking flap by a side (1 and the back is connected to the end flaps by ends a. The sides and ends are formed by bending or scoring the blank on parallel lines so that they can be readily folded together in the form of a flat box as shown in Fig. 2. The tucking flap is provided with tongues a to enter the slits e in the back.

The support F is cut and bent inwardly from the back of the box to receive the suspensory, the back of the box being that part against which the suspensory lies and on which it is supported by the support F. A label G is preferably pasted on the outer face of the back of the box to close the opening 1 left in the back when the support is bent in wardly. I have found it convenient to locate the support adjacent to the upper side edge of the back, being that edge adjacent to the front, so that the suspensory will lie wholly within the edges of the back at all times. The support is formed preferably by cutting the back on a line H parallel with the adjacent side edge and on lines I parallel with the end edges, the lower edge J of the support being left connected with the back.

My improved box can be made at very low cost because the'entire box including the sup port can be cut from a blank in one operation. It is customary to affix labels to the box and hence the use of the label Gr does not involve any additional expense. This label may be dispensed with but I prefer to use it to protect the suspensory band.

. The box is preferably made of pasteboard and constructed of a size and shape adapted to hold the bandage securely in place and at the same time permit it to be freely examined without much handling, and the bandage can be readily removedfrom and replaced on the support.

Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim is A folding display box for suspensory band ages made out of a single blank and comprising a back, a front, a side connecting the back and front, a tucking flap, a side connecting the tucking flap and front, end flaps, sides connecting the end flaps and back, a support for the bandage near one side edge of the back and extending across the back approximately from end to end thereof, said support being made by cutting the back on a line parallel with and adjacent to the side connecting the front and back and on lines parallel with the ends of the box and bending inward that part of the back within said cutting lines, and a covering on the outer face of the back over the opening therein left by bending inward the support.
